Program Overview

# BSc in Computer Science Engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics

The Computer Science Engineer BSc program trains computer engineers equipped to develop innovative solutions across diverse fields—from cutting-edge web services and artificial intelligence applications to mission-critical industrial software systems. With a strong theoretical foundation combined with practical skills, you'll be prepared to either launch your career in software development and IT infrastructure or continue into advanced MSc studies.

## Curriculum Structure

First Year – Foundational Grounding

Your first year establishes the essential knowledge base for computer engineering. You'll dive into Fundamentals of Programming with languages including C, C++, and Java, while simultaneously building mathematical maturity through Calculus and Probability Theory and Statistics. This foundation also includes Fundamentals of Electronics and Electrotechnics and Fundamentals of Physics, ensuring you understand both the theoretical principles and practical applications that underpin modern computing systems.

Second Year – Core Engineering Disciplines

In your second year, the curriculum expands into core computer engineering domains. You'll study Computer Architecture, Operating Systems, and Communication Networks, which form the backbone of modern computing infrastructure. Alongside these technical courses, you'll deepen your mathematical knowledge through Theory of Computing and Coding Technology, giving you the analytical tools to solve complex computational problems with elegance and efficiency.

Third and Fourth Years – Specialization and Advanced Topics

During your final two years, after completing the common theoretical grounding, you'll choose between two specializations: Software Engineering or Infocommunication. Regardless of your path, you'll explore advanced subjects like Databases, Software Engineering Techniques, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, and IT Security. This phase emphasizes both breadth and depth, combining practical laboratory work with design experiences that prepare you for professional practice in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

## Focus Areas

The program emphasizes two distinct specialization tracks—Software Engineering and Infocommunication—allowing you to tailor your studies to match your career aspirations.
